The Witches of NoHo: How They Built The Cottage That’s Changing Everything

This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) sits down with two visionary North Hollywood creators — Celina Lee and Danielle Ozymandias, the founders of The Witch’s Cottage, NoHo’s newest community hub, artist sanctuary, and witchy haven.

Located inside the historic old Federal building, The Witch’s Cottage is being hand-built with intention, magic, and the help of neighbors who saw the sign in the window and simply showed up. Celina and Danielle share how their dream transformed from years of shared messages and Pinterest boards into a living, breathing community space that blends witchcraft, craftwork, storytelling, gaming, baking, activism, and heart.

We talk about the construction process, their origin story, the people who came out of nowhere to help, and what it means to build something deeply meaningful in a neighborhood still recovering its artistic soul.

This episode is about friendship, community, reinvention — and what happens when witches decide to take over a federal building.
